Patterns - and a Spanish Doubloon

Abstract patterns ..... sand ....... sea ......  sky ........ clouds...... reflections on water 

Angelic figures?

Princess, Maddy and Poppy

Princess is a West Highland White Terrier.
Her ancestors,it's believed, arrived in Scotland in 1588,when a ship of the defeated Spanish Armada
was wrecked in a storm near the island of Skye while fleeing from the English Navy.
The dogs are thought to have been used as rat catchers on the ships.
Princess is very interested in rodents........especially squirrels!

Painting by Andrew Spratt   -   Spanish galleon at  TANTALLON CASTLE

I found this golden "Spanish Doubloon" in the garden a few days ago,possibly thrown over the wall
 by a child........is it a piece from a board game.......
or a pirate dressing up set?

Pink Clouds

At dusk, a beautiful pink cloud drifts over the sea

Gulls circle looking for food

Shells and organic debris piled up after high tides

In my studio, I've been drying shells on old newspapers, and see the image of blue water and palm trees beneath.
It's an advertisement for Caribbean holidays.......cold north meets warm south!

Happy Weekend!
